Crooked I - I'm Still A MC
Artist: Crooked I
Producer: Komplex
Album: B.O.S.S. (Beginning of Something Serious)
Label: Treacherous/Dynasty Music Group
Since his last Booth solo feature, Swagga Like Crook, Crooked I has been a busy man. In addition to preparing for the release of his debut album, B.O.S.S. (Beginning Of Something Serious), the Long Beach native has been working on a second Hip-Hop Weekly series—not to mention, he’s teamed up with Joe Budden, Joell Ortiz, and Royce da 5’9” to form the Slaughterhouse supergroup. Still on that high-energy heatwave, Crook displays his disgust with all the gimmick rappers in the game, reminding the audience “I’m Still A MC.” Shouting “F*ck dumbin’ down!” the emcee sticks to his decision to stay underground rather than selling out. Komplex turns up the synths, completing that rare combo of top-notch MCing and first-rate production! B.O.S.S. is expected to be released later in ‘09; in the meantime, keep it locked to DJBooth.net for Crook’s exclusive interview with our own DJ Z.

This was really nice, awesome feel to it by the number one most distinctive style of hip hop -- West Coast music. I'm lovin what Slaughterhouse is doin right now so it's good to see Crooked I continue his flame.

Undeniable WC music. Crooked will always be slept on, but this you cannot sleep during.

This is SICK! Crooked I is a monster and is probably one of the most underated MCs in the game! Well rounded track!

Crooked is that "real" other rappers just talk about... great message!
Love the intensity of his flow and straightforward lyrics! Beat is banging yet leaving place for Crook to shine. |
